And previous overtures from chief executive kerry lamb to suspend the legislation in june and then announce that it was did in july failed to end the rest there are more large rallies planned in the days ahead which is when well find out of kerry lambs decision will have the desired effect or of protesters believe its come way too late the protest is viewed debil is just another example of Mainland Chinas growing influence on hong kong so its withdrawal could be seen as a rate concession by beijing demonstrators demands have evolved into broader democratic reforms and an independent commission of inquiry into the crisis and the actions of police. Rarely organizers say the legislations withdrawal will be celebrated briefly but its not enough to end the crisis and by not agreeing to all the demands they believe kerry has proved again shes out of touch with her people caroline herself irrelevant she already proved so many times too many times to all people that she really doesnt care about own people if a leader behave like that i hope people will not care about at all. The announcement came less than a day after a private conversation was leaked to the media in which lamb said shed resign and apologize for the chaos if she could that was seen as an indication that it was china that would decide her fate and that of the bill even some progovernment politicians believe withdrawing the legislation is the right thing to do but its too late if you ask anybody in the street where they did still remember what it was about i think probably 20 percent could tell. You as the protestors i dont know even 10 percent remember this one about the war which is likely to mean that the citys crisis is far from over wayne hey Al Jazeera Hong Kong well the Hong Kong Government has so far north protesters demands to set up an independent inquiry to investigate alleged Police Brutality demonstrators accuse offices of colluding with alleged gang members who then attacked protesters and commuters inside a train station back in july only 2 people charged over that and protesters also say police have been using Excessive Force they fired hundreds of rounds of tear gas and rubber bullets in what are residential areas and over the weekend at least several people were injured when officers chased demonstrators inside a train all that police have made a 1000 arrests since june well heres the thoughts now tom and katie who is the director of Amnesty International in hong kong he is calling on the government to set up a truly independent inquiry into the alleged Police Brutality. The fact that the Hong Kong Police especially have chosen to suppress protests in the rossley unlawful weight that has seriously damaged the Peoples Trust and sense of lets let him see are of the government and the city course for the set up of an independent commission of inquiry to Police Brutality over the past few months or so for the present set up of the socalled independent. Commission to investigate Police Brutality it is not from and as these perspective not independent at all because 1st of all this commission has no rights to in western cape to get effort that is and also and they have to rely on are the investigation of a body within the police force itself so it is not independent we call it we are calling for a truly independent commission of inquiry that compromise of our judges and also our independent people in hong kong society. The latest on Hurricane Dorian now which is slowly moving closer to the u. S. After devastating much of the bahamas 7 people have died on the islands and the Prime Minister says that number is likely to rise and again like a reporting now from florida. As Hurricane Dorian edges away from the bahamas a clearer picture of its devastating power is a merging grand the harbor and abaco island were hit hardest with storm surges and powerful winds this is now a humanitarian crisis hampered by the storm slow path through the region continued heavy rains and high winds and the true extent of the damage may not be known for days but early reports suggest the rescue and recovery operation will be huge we also understand that about 62000 people across the 2 islands will need access to clean Drinking Water its not an unfamiliar thing to say in the disaster but when theres no water after a disaster that can have serious secondary impacts so that we are priority not just for the red cross but for the government and for the u. N. System the red cross says at least 13000 homes have either been severely damaged or destroyed rebuilding will be a long process but saving those stranded by one of the most powerful storms recorded is a priority of the 25 individuals they were transported to new programs. To has already succumbed had to take the number of deaths of 7 and again i want to assure. And informed to be him in population that we can. Expect more of them to be recorded doria now threatens the u. S. East coast where preparations evacuation orders and warnings have been in place for days the storms predicted path shows no landfall in florida but a Cape Canaveral nasa has moved sensitive equipment as the storm edges closer georgia and the carolinas remain on high alert and many residents have heeded warnings to prepare for the worst and hoping that by being so early with our profile reparations they will all be invade it we will not have leave it to do much of floridas east coast remains under hurricane watch in there is still a danger of high gusts of wind storms coming in from the Atlantic Ocean but if the track stays as it is predicted the storm should be about 170 kilometers off the coast even as it makes its way up to georgia and the carolinas that is potentially good news for millions of people but everyone is being warned not to get complacent. In the next few hours and days much needed resources will pour into the bahamas even for a nation used to dealing with powerful hurricanes this is an unprecedented situation i think alec rogers era Indian River City florida. Still in the u. S. President of the trump is diverting 3600000000. 00 from military projects towards the construction of the wall along the southern border with mexico more than 120. 00 projects will lose their funding remember trying to create a National Emergency earlier this year as he tried to fund the border wall which he promised to build during his 2016 president ial campaign heres a look at how dont transfer opposed to wall for which congress has already refused to provide the 5700000000. 00 a trumpet wanted fact its actually approved less than a quarter of that nearly a 1000 kilometers of the war already exists and he promised to build around 2000 more but so far only existing sections. Been replaced and as trump fights to get funding for his wall the number of people detained at the Us Mexico Border thats gone up more than 760000 have been detained since last october which is still fewer than a decade ago is the thoughts of Jonathan Parker a senior lecturer in american politics at Kiel University who says trump is trying to force congress into giving him money for the wall. Hes bluffing congress essentially to try to get them to fund more money to the military to make sure that hes got the funding for the wall through the back door nancy pelosi has come out strongly against it but it would of course when the military gets short changed you know its going to be bases in their states its going to be the efforts in afghanistan its going to be a big big high stakes game here and so the question is who gets blamed when we have a Government Shutdown in the past trump has been blamed and so i would suspect the democrats are going to assume thats going to happen again so i would think congress is going to dig its heels in and refuse to fund trumps calling it a delay in the funding so hes assuming congress will come back and put the money back but of course all of these efforts are bogged down in the courts theres a series of lawsuits that are Going Forward trump has won some of them hes lost some of them so its very unclear whether the hill even be allowed to do this. Iran says this is willing to recommit to the 2050 nuclear deal but only if it gets 15000000000. 00 for oil sales the plan was proposed by france as it tries to salvage the agreements but that proposal will need to be approved by the United States now to see the big gone in o.
